Two 3.10 feature ideas



Dear all,

unfortunately, I don't know if I will have the manpower in the next six
months to contribute actively to GNOME, so I'm just dropping two ideas
for features here. I believe they would benefit a good number of users.

* Finally have evolution display notifications for new messages while
the main UI is not open. There was a proposal in this direction several
cycles ago, but I believe it was postponed indefinitely. Has
evolution-data-server all the needed pieces? This is not conceptually
much different than notifications for new chat messages. Sure, it can be
achieved by some another different small program which needs to be
configured separately, but it would be nice to have this well integrated
with the rest of the GNOME experience.

* Add social network notifications. Some of them could be read-only
notifications (e.g. for Google+, which does not provide a write API),
others could afford to offer an interface similar to the one used for
chat (e.g. for Facebook and Twitter) where you can respond. Gwibber
attempted to do some of these things, but a solution integrated with
g-o-a (which already has the authentication pieces in place) +
gnome-shell seem to make much sense.

Anyway, thanks for your strenuous work!

Cheers,
